Hi, when should I expect a hit do you reckon or does no one know eg: this time last year, virmin launched an attack on all the boxes, what about the year before? Will we expect an attack to happen at least twice a year every year, until virmin upgrade their encryption?

Would seem it. Lets hope it doesn't happen at all

.. Although, we know it will, we can always hope otherwise though.

Ditto.

I only want the rom 10 and 11 moscs i have to stay alive, until the expire dates i set at least, wonder if i will still remember they were set for 6 months, in 6 months time.

Probably get a freaked panic post about them at that time

so moscs survive during an attack? ie: could virmin kill some of their own legitimate boxes when launching an attack?
